RPM Monitoring

This is required for both RPM-activated automatic door locking and for BlackJax anti-carjacking features. See the

RPM Monitoring

section in this binder for information.

Hood Trigger

Vehicles with a ground-switching hood pin switch interface directly with IntelliGuard 8000 (on positive switching vehicles, use a relay to
invert polarity). If a switch cannot be located, you must add a pin switch in a location away from water channels.
1. Connect the WHITE/BLACK wire to the hood pin wire.

Final Wiring Connections

1. Connect the 18 AWG RED wire to the 5-amp fuseholder as shown on page 3.

2. Connect the 18 AWG RED/WHITE wire to the 20-amp fuseholder as shown on page 5.
3. Attach the two fuseholders to the battery positive cable clamp.
4. Attach the 18 AWG BLACK wire to the battery negative cable clamp.

SmartPowerUp™ 2

SmartPowerUp 2 ensures that the system powers up in the same state (disarmed, armed or valet mode) it was in when power was removed.
When you first power up the IntelliGuard 8000, it will silently enter the disarmed state.

Delayed Courtesy Lights

Some vehicles have a courtesy light delay or dimming circuit, which interferes with an alarm being able to detect the door trigger upon
remote arming. If the delay or dimming lasts more than 5 seconds, no special connections or testing are needed, simply turn on the

Delayed

Courtesy Lights

feature as noted in the

Installer-Programmable Features

section on page 16. Please note that since this feature sets the

system to arm the instant the courtesy lights turn off, the Door Ajar Warning feature will not be available.

Mandatory RPM Programming

NOTE: This

MANDATORY programming step must be completed for the IntelliGuard 8000 to operate properly.

Drive

the vehicle to a nearby open area and allow the engine to warm-up until the RPMs drop to the normal idle speed.

2. With the engine still running, place the transmission in

Park

(or

Neutral

if the vehicle has a manual transmission).

3. Enter the code of “2” valet code using the instructions provided in the

Programmable Features

on page 14. The LED will briefly

illuminate. Press and hold the

✱

button for 10 seconds (you will hear one confirmation chirp after three seconds—do not stop

holding the button—continue holding the button until you hear a three-chirp confirmation). Release the button.

4. Press the

unmarked

button once. After a three-second pause, the system will sound one chirp to confirm column one selection

(see the

Installer-Programmable Features

section on page 16).

5. Press the

✱

button five times (you will hear a chirp each time you press the button) to select row five. After a two-second pause,

you will hear two chirps to confirm idle RPM has been set (if you hear just one chirp, check the connection of the BLACK/GRAY

wire, then repeats steps 1 - 5).

6. Turn the ignition OFF.

Remote Control Operation

The IntelliGuard 8000 comes with two ergonomically designed remote controls: a 16-channel master remote and a 10-channel
secondary “companion” remote. Up to two more ACG 2 remote controls can be added to the IntelliGuard 8000 system. Due to the
ACG 2 feature on the IntelliGuard Series systems, older Clifford ACG and non-ACG remotes are not compatible with the
IntelliGuard 8000.
